yeah I do not recommend the n800, unless you like the fiddle around with it... I love it, because Unix/Linux is the environment I work w/ on daily basis. I think n800 is not for everyone...

Ipod Touch/Iphone are more mainstream, and you get what is dictated by Steve Jobs and the Apple people, so if they don't see it fit you don't get it... sure people are jailbreaking and getting things on it, but after seeing how after each firmware the phone is getting locked, there is the direction apple is going, they want to be in control... and I hate that. That was the main reason I chose n800 (because I could have jailbroken the iphone myself) because I do not care for them.

So look at yourself see what describes you and choose accordingly.
